Medical Marijuana MUST be legalized

I heard about this story on THE VIEW this morning, and felt like I had to
get more info about it. I found the following article.

What Do You NEED?

My Tween has been reading "Little House in the Big Woods", "Little House on the Prairie" and "Farmer Boy". I had to re-read them in order to write the quiz he'd take. It reminded me that life can be very simple, especially when you concentrate on the absolute basics of life. So... What is absolutely required for you to be self-reliant on your homestead?

Food

Water

Utilities

Shelter

Clothing

"Luxuries" or extras would include:

Medical (including holistic methods)

Safety and personal security

Financial security

Education of your children

Entertainment

Other:

Make sure you get plenty of sleep. Homesteading, when done full-tilt, is not for people who like to sleep in late or who get drunk all the time. Running a tractor when you partied all night isn't safe or smart.

Social and network and friendship. Humans need belonging and acceptance. Meet your neighbors and get to know them. Find peers that share the same interests.

Don't ignore the need for intimacy.

We all need to be respected, which in turn, gives us self-esteem and self-confidence.

Keep your needs, and those of your family, in the forefront. What do you want? What do you need? How can you reach your potential and self-actualization?

So ... a previous posting on this blog asked you to make your plan. Did you? What about your list of priorities? So... are you ready?

"An urban homesteader doesn't necessarily live on a farm but associates with nature directly. We grow our own food and strive for self-sufficiency. We work to regain the almost-lost knowledge of our ancestors: tending to plants, animals and ourselves... moving away from "consumers" to "do-it-yourselfers". Urban homesteading isn't about suffering or deprivation or militant cults... it's about reclaiming our heritage." By V.P.Lawrence-Williams
